Masergy Named the Only Visionary in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Network Services, Global

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Masergy,
a leading provider of secure SD-WAN, cloud communications and managed
security solutions, announced today that Gartner, Inc. has positioned
them as a Visionary in its 2019 Magic Quadrant for Network Services,
Global¹ report. This is the third year in a row that Masergy has
appeared in the Visionaries quadrant based on completeness of vision and
ability to execute.

The report evaluated 15 different vendors and placed Masergy as the lone
Visionary in the quadrant. According to Gartner¹, “Enterprises are
focusing on increasing the agility of their networks and on services
that can enable their adoption of cloud IT delivery and eventual
adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT). This is leading to most new
global networks being based on SD-WAN and making greater use of the
internet as a primary WAN transport. Additionally, enterprises are more
willing to utilize smaller providers and innovative services consumed on
an as-a-service basis.”

“Masergy’s global software-defined platform empowers the world’s most
reliable, agile, cost-effective, and secure SD-WAN solution in the
market,” said Chris MacFarland, Executive Chairman and CTO of Masergy.
“Over the past 12 months, we have gained significant market share from
both the legacy players as well as many of the new entrants in the
space.”

“To us, being named the sole Visionary provider among a crowded field of
competitors is an affirmation how Masergy empowers businesses to achieve
their digital ambitions through our software-defined platform and
unparalleled customer experience,” said James Parker, CEO of Masergy.
